Halloween Costumes for Moms

by Carolina on October 26th, 2018 | 2 Comments »

After spending days or weeks creating perfectly hand-crafted costumes for our children, we moms often end up going trick-or-treating in our yoga pants. If we're feeling particularly festive, we might add a witch hat to create a "costume".

This Halloween, spend a couple minutes on yourself, creating your own trick-or-treat costume. You can answer the door in your custom garb, or go around the neighborhood collecting your own pillowcase full of candy. Check out these Halloween Makeup Tips for more inspirations!

Step out of your comfort zone - strap on some leather and add a clip-on nose ring to be a rockstar like Brittany of Pretty Handy Girl.
